Chapter 5 Describing continuous variables

How do you summarize a continuous variable and present your findings? Here we cover how to analyze data over a single continuous variable, both in isolation (e.g. basic summary statistics) and across discrete categories of another variable (e.g. group mean comparison).

You will need the dcps data (DCPS testing.RData) and the tidyverse package to replicate the examples in this chapter. See Section 4.1 for a reminder on how to import the data and Section 2.4 for installing and loading packages.
